In this article we apply research in the field of judgment and decision making to the policy of preemption. We use Brunswik’s lens model to frame the policy of preemption as the integration of multiple fallible indicators under conditions of uncertainty. We use the Taylor-Russell diagram to demonstrate how the policy of preemption increases judgment uncertainty and error. The continuation of a ...

A degree of uncertainty accompanies ...
